suffering from partial paralysis, resulting from
an apoplectic stroke.-The physicians of the
Crown Prince, Frederick William, of Germany,
at last concede that his trouble is cancer of the

the surgeons believe necessary. This condition
OF affairs produces grave disquietude through
out Europe, as with the Crown Prince afflicted
with mortal illness, and his father i'll and of
such advanced age, the crown must descend to
the Prince William Victor, who is known to

shockingly implicated in the official investiga-
ton Of the nasty scandal of selling decorations

Grevy will be forced by public opinion TO re-
sign his high Office.
